GitGraber uses specific command-line flags to define how secret detection is performed. The -k flag is used to specify akeyword filethat contains search terms for identifying sensitive data in repositories. In this case, William wants to search for secrets using the keyword “yahoo,” which is passed using the -q flag. Options -w, -g, and -p are not valid flags for keyword-based scanning in GitGraber.

This capability is especially valuable during the Code stage, helping teams prevent credential leakage and maintain secure repositories.
